These are great nominations, maybe you should do a few polls. We could have our own vote and space it out over the classifications!

Under music, you forgot Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman!!! 2 of the best Disney song writers in Disney history, there! These are the same people who've written songs like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and other amazing songs!

1) It is a nice list.
2) But, woefully short of great contributors.
3) The list may not be endless, but it is a lot longer than listed.
4) Plus, I am not sure that some of those listed are deserving to be on the list.

Angela Lansbury, Julie Andrews and the Sherman Brothers have already been honored as "Disney Legends".

This thread is about people who have not recieved such awards yet.

Oh yea! Thanks for reminding me. Yea, Jim Henson totally deserves an award. I love the muppets. Though, I doubt he'd be named a 'Disney' legend. Maybe some other kind of legend though.

Well, some folks like Peter Jennings were honored as "Disney Legends" because of the fact that Disney owns the ABC TV network.

And since Disney owns the Muppets now and the fact that Jim Henson created them...

You get the idea.

Since this topic really isn't news, rumors, or Imagineering related I'm going to pop it over to our Mousellaneous forum.

Thanks!
